Under Swachhata Pakhwada 2026, Swachhata Hi Seva Campaign, and SCDPM 6.0, #DFCCIL organized a Cleanliness Drive and Plantation Programme, reaffirming its commitment to cleanliness, environmental sustainability, and responsible citizenship.

The initiative witnessed enthusiastic participation from Top Management to employees at the grassroots level, reflecting a shared commitment towards creating cleaner workplaces, greener surroundings, and a healthier future. Officers and staff joined hands in cleanliness activities across DFCCIL premises while also undertaking plantation drives to promote environmental conservation and sustainable development.

As part of the plantation initiative, a 350-metre bio-fencing zone has been developed with multiple layers of plantation, comprising Bamboo, Ashok Pendula, Gulmohar, Mogra and Bargad trees, with a total plantation of 1,000 plants. Further, more than 2,500 Karonda plants are being planted along the campus road divider, along with other plant species.

The campaign served as a powerful reminder that cleanliness is a collective responsibility and that every sapling planted today contributes to a greener tomorrow. The active involvement of employees across all levels showcased DFCCIL's dedication to embedding the values of environmental stewardship, civic responsibility, and community participation into its organizational culture.

As a nation-building organization, DFCCIL remains committed not only to developing world-class freight infrastructure but also to supporting the vision of a Swachh Bharat through meaningful action and community-led initiatives.

From leadership to field staff, one message resonated throughout the campaign — cleanliness is everyone's duty, and sustainability is everyone's responsibility.
